I’m a new player of Uke. May i know the strumming pattern?
On the words “my one defense” it has three c’s but if you change it to a C on the word “one” and G on the word “defense” and then C on part of the word “righteousness” and then change to the Fsus2 on the other part of the word” righteousness,” it sounds much better…but really great song!
Thank you so much!!! I’ve been searching for a worship song I could play on the uke like this that were not easy chords. The chords are so closely arranged that its relatively easy to switch between them. Great chords!
By the way that comment was if you play it in the +2 transposition
instead of playing “Fsus2” just play the “F” cord it sounds so much better!
I feel like eflat and gminor is fine for the song but its still a great song!
